during the year that i was in vietnam, 1969 our country lost twice as many dead as we have lost in iraq afghanistan combined over the past ten years of war. 68 was worse and 67 was the same. and there was not a day that goes by that i do not think about the young marines that i was privileged to lead. they have lived lives of courage both in combat and after their return. many of them were derided by their own peers for having served. but in receiving veteran's benefits they are not takers they are givers in the ultimate sense of the word. there is a saying, all gave some, some gave all. it is a heart of a tradition of the freedom and independence. thef paid with their lives, some through wounds and disabilities. not only did they pay, they will not say this, they are owed. they are owed.
